The McCormick Family
Lisa and David McCormick enjoy the peace and quiet of living in Cheat Lake while still being close enough to get to all the action in Morgantown. David, owner of Omega Commercial Interiors and McCormick Properties, also has a consulting firm, Business Development Strategies. Lisa is a Corporate Secretary in charge of Investor Relations for MVB Bank, Inc. They frequently head into town for work, dining and fun. After a long day, they enjoy relaxing on the deck with a glass of wine and the calm surroundings of home.
Lisa, originally from Fairmont, West Virginia, attended OIC in Fairmont and obtained her Investor Relations Certification from the University of California Irvine Extension’s online classes. She enjoys bowling, walking, eating out at favorite restaurants, and watching WVU sports. She also likes hanging out with friends and family.
David, from Logan, West Virginia, earned business degrees from WVU. He likes golf, running and exercising at Lakeview Fitness Center. He’s a big fan of WVU basketball. He also likes to head to the family farm in Monroe County for some hunting and fishing.
Together the McCormicks enjoy a nice dinner. David will often grill while Lisa prepares the vegetables to accompany the meal. When there’s no time to cook, restaurants are a big hit. The McCormicks like to frequent Table 9, Oliverios, Provoloni’s, Tropics, Sargasso and Stefanos.
Lisa and David like to get away by vacationing in Jupiter, Florida. Their favorite time together is staying in their condo, enjoying a day at the spa, golfing, shopping or dining out. Smith Mountain Lake near Roanoke, Virginia is the site of their family vacation home. Occasionally, they head to the Greenbrier, the site of their engagement. Once they’re back home, the McCormicks stay involved within the community. They attend Chestnut Ridge Community Church. Lisa completed Leadership Marion back in 2009.
David has served on the WV Lottery Commission since 2005. He’s a former member of the WVU Business and Economics Visiting Committee, the neighborhood HOA Board, and the Monongalia County Development Authority Board.
The McCormicks have two grown sons. Ryan Wanstreet (19) is a student at WVU and plans to obtain a degree in biology and go on to medical school. He loves bowling, fishing, hunting, playing basketball, working out and WVU basketball and football.
Corey Wanstreet (26) is an electrical foreman with Murray Energy at the Marshall County Coal Company. He loves playing basketball, shooting guns and watching WVU basketball and football. He is also an avid Boston Red Sox fan.
Lisa and David enjoy a family tradition of spending holidays together. They have Thanksgiving at home, and last year they had their first big Christmas there! Since Dave’s family is from Logan, they spend some holidays apart, but it works out very well. The McCormick family truly values its time together while enjoying life in Cheat Lake.
